country IS nervous deDlllty and
prostr&tion. 1t goes under
many names but it is essen
italy the same complaint.
Hospitals ard private institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average of life
in tie United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are so
frequent n scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without APP

really prompted by nervous

source Of insanity and crime

Every one should know the
causes. What are they? The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the In
tense mcRtaland physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles of pow
erty; the use of narcotics and
stilnulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours

and ill the lunatic asylms
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer a3d die is, in plain Eng

is seated in he Nerves and in
the organs o. Digestion, Assim-
ilation and l.4uition. Healthy

even when there is no enact
